Can't install printer in Virtual Windows XP
Computer: Dell Inspiron 660
Operating system: Windows 7 Pro SP1
Printer: Dell Laser Printer B23060dn with latest drivers installed
=====
The printer is connected via a USB cable. When in Windows 7, it works perfectly. It used to work fine in Virtual Windows XP Mode, but when I tried to reinstall it in the virtual machine, I consistently failed.
Here is the method I've tried:1. With the printer turned on and connected to the computer, I started Virtual Windows XP.What am I doing wrong?
2. I clicked "USB" at the the top of the desktop, and a menu appeared with this list:
3. I clicked on the printer entry and got a window asking whether I wanted to "attachCanoScan .................... Attach

USB2.0-CRW .................. Shared
USB device." I clicked "yes."
4. I got this window:5. I restarted and tried again but always got the same result. The Control Panel within Virtual Windows XP shows no printers installed.Could not attach the USB device. You can
attach the USB device to a different USB
port or restart the virtual machine and
try again.
